Lunch at Terrie's was a beautiful harvest feast and a stark contrast to the content at hand: discussion of "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace". A book I will long remember along with the unresolved discomfort of the race/class issues, it seems there was an understanding that Rob had made some very bad choices in light of all the opportunities to make better ones. Still feeling heavy-hearted about the outcome, I can't help but have a terrifying empathy for Rob and his community.
On a lighter note, we had a very light guest at Terrie's:

His input to the discussion went something like this, "coo-coo-coo-coo". Very verbal.
Considered for our upcoming March selection:
"The Lost Landscape" by Joyce Carol Oates
"Last Bus to Wisdom: A Novel" by Ivan Doig
"Ordinary Grace" by William Kent Krueger *chosen
Up next, our beloved trip to Coronado! Here we come 1906...
I have reserved dinner at Primavera for Monday 11/30 at 7, Chez Loma for Tuesday 12/1 at 7 and finally lunch for our discussion at Tartine for Wednesday 12/2 at 12:30.
I am really looking forward to our discussion of Anne Tyler's "A Spool of Blue Thread".
